Blue Grosbeak

My entry for Bird Photography Weekly To see more wonderful birds click on my link and thanks to Birdfreak for hosting .

These shots are from my archives and my last visit to Bombay Hook NWR. They are beautiful birds and I love the color. The male is a pretty blue with chestnut wingbars. They like to hang out in brushy fields or on the edge of wooded areas. They eat insects and seeds.

Hi, Eileen;What a gorgeous blue bird! I don't know a whole lot about birds but I would be ever so grateful to see a few pretty ones in my garden. (I live in hawk/eagle country - they're too fierce to inspire photographs.)

Do you know the name of the wild flower in your header? I was just in the allegany state park here in NY and clicked on a gorgeous pink one (now my header) but I was having trouble identifying the name.

About me

I am married and I have one son 22 years old. I am now retired as of Dec 31st 2014! I enjoy the birds and nature as much as I can.
I enjoy traveling, seeing new places
activities as hiking and birding. There are different kinds of birders and I only do it for the fun and to see the different birds. I keep one life list of all the birds I see whether they are birds seen in my backyard or in Costa Rica. I do have to admit I am not the best photographer, nor the best with words. But, I am trying and it is only for fun! Because, my photos are just for fun. I do not advertise nor do I sell any photos. Like I said, I am just blogging for fun!
